Surprise! My "backorder" As Is (A288263) has shipped

I'm shocked that this "As Is" top (A288263) came back into stock in my size and has shipped, I just received this same top, which I paid full price for, and I love it. If this one is in good condition I might decide to keep it as a backup. I also ordered another one today "As Is" in the nickle/chamomile. I just wanted to let you all know that it actually is possible to receive an "As Is" item when it has gone to backorder.

That's great for you.......I've been stalking that nickel/chamomile color but it never becomes available in my size!

Re: Surprise! My "backorder" As Is ( ) has shipped

Yes, I feel very lucky to get it. I'm between a medium and large and ordered the size large. It fits loose on me, but since I'm larger busted that's how I like to wear my tops I can't stand to wear tops that stretch across the bustline. I think it looks terrible.. I just looked and it's still available in the redwood and smokey taupe.

I would not buy "AS IS" clothing. You never know who wore it and where. Just not my style. I like to buy new clothing.

Most receive the item, try it on and back it goes.... kind of like a department store with customers trying on an item and putting it back on the rack to be sold as new.  Woman Wink

@divine  You are right - I am surprised given that thread I directed you to in your earlier post.   Congrats!  I do think you are the exception though, for receiving a backordered As Is item!  Your patience paid off.
